Blank Stand Ability Rewrite

**Stand Ability:** By rubbing its two primary tentacles together, **｢Smiling Faces Sometimes｣** generates and launches bubbles infused with concentrated emotions. These bubbles can phase through solid objects and multiple individuals, allowing them to affect several targets at once, but a target can only experience one effect at a time.

Blank’s performance determines the emotion, e.g., if Blank is portraying a grieving father who has lost a child, **｢Smiling Faces Sometimes｣** will fire a bubble filled with sadness.

Subsequent hits have an increased effect, but less duration. While the first hit’s effects have a maximum duration of 60 seconds, subsequent hits will reset the timer, with the max duration reduced by 15 seconds.

Blank also has the ability to redirect the focus of the inflicted emotions toward whatever he chooses, as long as his manipulation is convincing enough.
